The Best & Most Exciting Ways of Travelling Around the UK

The UK has its fair amount of stunning sights to visit, but how are you going to get to all of them? Luckily for you, the UK is small and takes under a day to get from one side of the island to the other. Below are the best ways of travelling around the UK. Carry on reading for more.

Reach your destination in no time

A train journey on the National Rail service is one of the fastest ways of travelling. However, buying your tickets with little notice and in peak hours is the most expensive way and we certainly do not recommend this.
Book your ticket weeks in advance and during off-peak times and you will see the cost of tickets reduced. Browse tickets here.

Affordable Hire

Going on public transport to get around fast is tricky, especially when you are with a group of friends. It can be easier to just hire minibusWhat's in the mini bus?

16 seats

National coverage

Friendly drivers

If you live in Essex and prefer to get around faster, quicker and easier, hire a minibus.

Fares from as little as £1

Many of us Brits know that the cheapest way of getting around the UK is on the MegaBus. MegaBus regularly hold deals where tickets around the country at £1, but don’t worry if you miss a deal as tickets rarely exceed the £15 mark. See: Special Offers.
The negative side to MegaBus is the time it takes to reach each destination. If you don’t mind browsing the scenery from the window then you’re in luck, that’s if you do get the window seat.

Begin your journey in a Bentley GT

Nows for the fun part. Imagine travelling around the UK in a car as luxurious as the Bentley GT. This dream can be made a reality with luxury car hire with Hertz’ Dream Collection partner, City Inter-Rent. Start your journey.
Hire this automatic beauty that has enough space for two people and a piece of luggage in the back for just £495 a day. Such an amazing bargain to experience this car of pure sophistication. I bet you can’t wait to experience the thrill of being behind the driver’s seat of this car.

Preparing to Travel to Australia

Plan Ahead for your Trip to Brisbane

Travelling to Australia can be an incredibly long day. Flights aren’t short and can be extremely tiring. We’ve put together a quick guide to ensure that travelling to Australia can be as relaxing as possible.
Organisation is key to ensure that your travels to Australia aren’t stressful. Our guide covers topics that you might not have thought about but you’ll be glad that we made you aware of them. When travelling to Australia, start by considering:

Arranging an Airport Car Transfer: When travelling to Australia, have you considered booking yourself an airport car transfer? An airport car transfer is a brilliant solution to ensure that all the logistics are taken care of when travelling to your destination. Your driver will ensure that you are taken care of and can relax in peace.

Plan Your Trip Ahead of Your Arrival: Australia is an incredibly popular destination for tourists across the world, for good reason too. From the Sydney Opera house to the Great Barrier Reef, make sure you have planned your time in Australia rather than visit these incredible destinations spontaneously.

Have the Correct Documentation: It’s important to know that Australia has one of the strictest border controls in the world. Before you even think about packing your suitcase, make sure that you have all the correct paperwork needed to get through border control without any unneeded hassle.
